MLB Disabled List Dollars

The 2014 MLB season has been a season to either remember due to the amount of injuries sustained players, especially to pitchers, or not to remember because of all the injuries that have been sustained to players. There have been a significant amount of players being placed on the disabled list for various reason, but the biggest standout is due to the elbow. Mostly due to pitchers having to have surgery, most notable Tommy John, ending the pitcher's season or placing them on an extended leave of absence.
